I don't think that anyone has really answered my fundamental question yet, which is this: Python is my favorite language, but I use a lot of other languages as well, and there's one feature that I use a lot in those other languages which I miss not having in Python. How is it that people are so hostile to something that I, and apparently others, find so useful? -- Talin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
